In physiology, HDL cholesterol (HDL) is "cholesterol which is contained in or bound to high-density lipoproteins (HDL), including cholesterol esters and free cholesterol."[1]
It is not clear whether insufficient HDL causes coronary artery disease[2] and raising the HDL does not seem to reduce coronary artery disease.[3]
Low HDL is part of hypoalphalipoproteinemia.
